Abandoned by her parents and raised by her wits, Scootaloo knows about the dangers of dreaming. Any focus given to an impossible goal is focus lost from finding food, shelter, and warmth for another night. Settling herself in Ponyville, she lives day by day, surviving on scavenged meals and the love of her friends and idol.

But when Scootaloo collapses and is diagnosed with a terrible disease, her fragile life is thrown into disarray. Her resolve is tested as her illness impacts Rainbow Dash, strains her friendships, and confines her to a hospital bed. With nothing but hope to drive her forward, how long can Scootaloo fight when blind to the only thing she has to hold on to?

Having read the original, I felt as though you were just re-uploading it, but I'm seeing some changes, and some reoccurring stuff. Realizing that the first one was sad, and this one is on its way, I can say I can't wait for an update.

There are very few FIMfictions which I've read that make me feel that my heart's shattered into unrepairable pieces. This is one of them.

I'm a bit distraught that you're re-writing it because it means that I'm going to have to read it again in even greater and more heart-wrenching detail. Not sure if I can handle this. Oh well, I'm going to read either way.

Beautifully written, by the way.

PS: Will we see Summerset? ...So long as she doesn't die she'll make it a bit brighter.

Huh, I thought this looked familiar but it had just been so long since I had read it I guess. It is still really good although it would seem that Scoot's symptoms set in earlier and much more fiercely this time round, not that I'm complaining or anything... Anyway, I really do hope my favorite CMC pulls through this.
